Is the G8+ SAR (system as root)? - Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers

Can somebody confirm if the Moto G8+ is a system as root device (the system partition of these devices is also the root partition, not root/system as usual)?
Also it would be interesting for me if it's an A/B device with two different slots to flash in like most Pixel devices.

Yes, the Moto G8 Plus is a system as root A/B device.

Every device that comes with Android 9 must be a system-as-root device.

Ok, I'm wondering why nobody in the rooting thread confirmed that magisk could be flashed to the inactive slot (for applying OTA for example).

is Recovery_ramdisk.img same as Ramdisk.img?

is Recovery_ramdisk same as Ramdisk?
i am trying to install magisk. i want to patch the ramdisk so i can flash my phone s i can get root. my bootloader is unlocked already.
i used huawei extractor to take out partions from the firmware for my mopile, but i only found either recovery_ramdisk or erecovery_ramdisk. i didnt find ramdisk or boot in the update.app file.
here is a screen shot
https://imgur.com/b1dS3rF
As far as I guessed recovery_ramdisk.img is a combined image of boot.img and recovery.img.
can i use it to install magisk?
I am not really sure but you may need to split it into boot image and recovery image and use the boot image to use magisk. Try 7zip(google that)and try if there is luck.
by the way you are using huawei?have you unlocked bootloader(that is a hard job)?

Didnt work. Thnks for trying though.
2yrs later, LoL, so i have a mate 10 pro, i know this is 20's section
but similarly, after i would "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk magisk_patched_blah.img" it would complete, then upon power cycle, or "fastboot reboot" it would boot without root.
but when i flashed it, then hit enter right after the reboot command, immediately disconnected usb & immediately held power & vol+ until screen showed it was booting...then it booted normal, WITH root.
then allows for magisk to direct install. then it was full root. thought i would mention as that didnt happen on emui 8.0.0.137/139 for me. but after i did an update to 9.1.0.300 (i have cust 605) the rooting got a touch harder.

install TWRP in oneplus 8

I want to root my oneplus 8. install TWRP recovery.
please anyone help me how to install TWRP in oneplus 8
I am using oxygen OS 11
Android version 11
Use fastboot to flash the TWRP image to recovery using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name of image].img
Keep in mind that this command will flash to your primary slot; if you'd like to flash it to both, replace "recovery" with "recovery_a" or "recovery_b", which are the names of the two partitions. Your bootloader also must be unlocked for this operation to work.
The link for the TWRP image can be found on XDA.

Yes will do that as soon as I have added working decryption for Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro.
Actually decryption should already work for all OP8 series unified ROMs like Pixel Blaster and FlamingoOS which are unified for OP8 series and Op9r und using FbeV2 decryption method.

Realme C21Y (RMX3261,RMX3263,RMX3262) kernel source, boot.img....

Hello and welcome​NOTICE:This thread will be modified when new files are available.
Manufacturer: Rea*me
Device: Realme C21Y
Chipset: UNISOC T610
DEVICE CODENAME: RMX3263,RMX3261,RMX3262
Currently available files:
pre-built kernel(zImage) boot.img
device-tree.dtb(device tree blob)
device-tree-source.dts(device tree source)
kernel-configuration file, sepolicy, prop.default
EDIT:finaaaaally Rea*me released the kernel source for this device, I think it is time for you to compile !
https://github.com/realme-kernel-opensource/realme_C21Y-AndroidR-kernel-source/
unfortunately as you see, there is no kernel source and also a way to unlock the bootloader, the files are somehow not very important but maybe in the future they will be.
actually, you can build any custom rom for this device using the prebuilt kernel(zImage), without kernel source by using TARGET_PREBUILT_KERNEL="Path to zImage" variable, if you understood that's good, if not just search for it, then when you got the zip file you can use sp research tool to flash the built from source rom with a locked bootloader, because it is the only way to flash this phone's files with locked bootloader, these are the instructions that you'll need to do(please note that this is a theory only, i didn't test it and i am not responsible for bricked devices, at your own risk !):
Get the phone's stock rom for example from this link: https://romprovider.com/realme-rmx3263-flash-file-firmware-free/
then install the sp research tool(you need to use this one specifically, the sp flah tool works just in the factory): https://androidmtk.com/download-spd-research-tool
Link: then using this link follow the steps until you replaced the stock system.img to the GSI's system.img one.
then just flash it using the tool and you will success to flash the GSI rom.
Next the file device-tree-sorce.dts is the device tree source file.
To get the boot.img, download the boot.zip below, extract it and you'll have it, if you want to modify boot.img download AIK tool: then run the shell script on the boot.imh file(you can do it only in Linux).
well we hope we will find a way to unlock the bootloader, because it's the key for doing everything.
Have you tried realme Deep test App to unlock the bootloader.
Hey I was thinking of flashing the proton AOSP GSI on Realme C21Y. I have checked that realme c21y has Treble SUPPORT so I thought if you can give it a try if you happen to have a realme c21y available.
Here are the links of file and tutorials that I intend to follow .

Greetings, the problem with the headphones is partly related to the vendor, which is natural for A11, but for A12 and A13 it is not yet available, or rather it needs to be updated for this, which is comparable to know very well Same Kotlin.

Anyone had sucess rooting a Galaxy A03s (A037m)?

Anyone had any sucess on rooting an A037m (A03s)? All of the useful info was about the A037F and it obviously didn't work with my device. I was thinking about installing a GSI but I could'nt access the fastboot to do it, so for now I'm trying to just install TWRP and magisk on it. Any advice is very welcome.
To my knowledge, you cannot install a GSI because the DSU isnt on this phone. The phone doesn't support A/B partitions. However, fastboot does exist on this phone, you just access it via recovery. And as for your question, use the official A03s or Samsung guide on how to install magisk. The CSC (Country code for your device) shouldn't matter, the 'F' in A037F just stands for another region that the device is in. It shouldn't matter that much

Project Treble generally doesn't have much to do with rooting. Project Treble just speeds up the update process. As I said, the phone doesn't have A/B partitions, making it generally impossible to use the DSU Loader. (Dynamic System Updates)

How can a BOOT.IMG be extracted from an Android Phone if there is no Stock Firmware ROM available?

Hi! Are there any pro’s out there that can help out with some issues, we are having with 3 phones.
It would be greatly appreciated. I believe we are not the only ones.
How can a BOOT.IMG be extracted from an Android Phone if there is no Stock Firmware ROM available?
All 3 phones manufactured in 2022.
The Bootloader is unlocked for all 3. USB Debugging is turned on.
- Moxee m2160 MH-T6000 only boots to Fastboot & Recovery. I have tried to restore but it will not restore.
- Vortex V22 has a GSI Pixel Experience Plus 13 ROM installed and is unable to go back to factory ROM image.
- ANS ACK2326 is on a stock Android 12 ROM and hasn’t been modified but has a build number kirk2_v1 2.0_BTM-ST.
Is it possible to get a Generic BOOT.IMG to modify for root?
Are there other ROMS like GSI’s with a BOOT.IMG that could work to try to get root?
Are there other ways to get root without a BOOT.IMG?
Is there a way to parse the entire phone to compile a BOOT.IMG?
The manufacturers were contacted. No system firmware ROM is available online that we could find after searching. We don’t have any experience searching china websites or know where to begin. If someone knows where we could find the stock ROM's on a China website that would be a great help!
Are we SOL? Are phones that don’t publish stock firmware that secure that if you need a BOOT.img from stock firmware to get to access the entire encrypted rom, you are out of luck?
Or, would we need a Jtag hardware reader?
Thank you in advance for your time and help which is greatly appreciated!
The boot image contains the kernel for that specific device; there is no such thing as a "generic boot image", as the kernel has to have the basic drivers for that specific device's hardware.
It's possible to dump the boot image if you already have root, but I'm assuming that the whole reason you want the boot image is to patch it with Magisk to gain root.
The alternative, if TWRP is available, is to use ADB through TWRP to dump the boot partition.
If you can't use TWRP and aren't rooted, there is no way to dump the boot partition through fastboot.

Thanks you for the reply! That is correct. Our ultimate goal is to gain root on these devices. Is Magisk the only root pathway or are there other rooting options?
Can you use ADB Shell, ADB root and dd to pull the boot partitions?
There is not a TWRP available for these devices. How would you go about making a TWRP for these phones? Do you need the stock firmware?

I am not a developer so I have no idea but I imagine you'd need the original kernel source, yes.
If u have mtk there are many options
1:using mtk client
2: using mtk bypass and wwr2
Then if u have snapdragon u need the gfil software and the phone firehose programmer
another risky way is to flash rooted GSI. but in case it boot loops, you are screwed without stock ROM. the user @gregeerg ended up with a semi bricked phone, luckily he was able to pull boot.img from adb, so another member @Jet! with same device could finally root his phone and provide super.img for unbrick. So this method is only working if you have two identical phones.

I actually had or was going to ask this if there is a way to access firmware from the hardware level. Somehow the post never got posted or deleted.
Anyway, with MTK Client & QFIL, how complicated is it to extract the firmware from a device? Will it work with all devices, or will I run into issues with newer devices? I will do some researching on these and see what I can find. Thank you!

Interesting. Where can I get a rooted GSI? I tried to searching but couldn't find anything. Is there a special way to search for one. I would be willing to try this. I had a boot loop on one and a unofficial unrooted PixelExp13 GSi fixed it.

Thank you! I'm assuming these are all GSI builds from LOS 16-20? Am I also correct in saying the difference in the bgN, bvN, bvS, files? b = a/b system, g = gapps installed, v = vanilla - no gapps installed. N = No Root? S = Root?
To get a GSI that is already rooted, I must install the file with S in the filename?

The Vortex V22 I got to work successfully with a GSI root. I was able to get root with the Moxee but I have yet to get a custom rom or working GSI rom. I'll post when I get a working rom with the Moxee. The ANS has been a bit of trouble because I cannot get the BL unlocked even though it has OEM unlocking turned on.

I appreciate you letting me know. Good to know I'm not the only one.
Did anyone ever figure out how to unlock the bootloader yet?

I do know it is available somewhere and most likely password protected but to my knowledge it hasn't been made publicly yet. I'm still waiting as well. I've be able to do some workarounds with the stock rom but I would really like to get access to the firmware or boot image.

I know right! I cant find hardly anything on the ACK2326 at all! I wish they would go ahead and make it public already.
