Hello,
I have an InFocus M535 (foxconn) with Android 5.1 installed from the factory. The device has been rooted and I want to install LineageOS 13.0 on it.
However, the smartphone is not on the list of devices supported by LineageOS. I was told that in this case it is still possible to build it "for your device" having a Linux PC and development tools installed.
I found "How to Build Lineageos rom for any android device Easily ! {Full guide}" on the net.
and I am very confused because I don't get how building LineageOS on a standalone computer would fetch my device specific modules? Since I am not building it on the phone!
What does "device supported by LineageOS" really mean? When device is not on the list of supported by LineageOS, it's one of the two:
(1) still possible to build it manually on a Linux PC.
(2) not possible to build it manually.
So which one of the two? I suspect I was misled and it's #2.
Yuriy
How ?
How did you root your device ?? I can't seem to find anything related to rooting M535 !
I have an Infocus M535 too and neither I can find any way of rooting it nor any custom rom.
Not even a way to put twrp or any other good recovery application on this.
HELP!
Hi guys,
Well, title says it almos all...
After reading several posts here, I decided to go for a code to unlock my bootloader and I was successful at that.
I also install TWRP as a custom recovery and I was successful at that too.
I tried then to root the phone, and I could do it.
So I was wondering : as Huawei does not release any source code, would it be possible to install a GSI ROM on that device to get rid of EMUI ?
Anyone tried that ?
Would love to hear an answer, especially if it is "Yes, I did it and it works like a charm"
Regards.
First you need someone with the ability to create said rom.
Hi,
I am taking about a GSI ROM.
GSI stand for "Generic System Image".
It means that it is a ROM that is, in theory, installable on EVERY device that supports Treble project.
And, according to Google policies, for a device released with Oreo as a main system, it is MANDATORY to support Treble...
But of course, manufacturers always do it their way... and can't care less about Google's guidelines.
So the question is : is Honor Note 10 Treble compatible ?
Regards.
Hi,
Well, I am investigating this a little further...
I just checked if the device is (in theory) Treble enabled...
And guess what ?
"adb shell getprop ro.treble.enabled
true"
So, this is encouraging...
I will try to install a GSI ROM on this device. I assume that I will still be able to reflash the other original ROM in case this goes wrong.
At least I hope to be able to do so !!!
Regards.
I managed to install the AOSP project treble but with something that did not work, for example the fingerprint or the 4G network was poor

I do not recommend installing the GSI for the time being
I had also installed a Resurrection Remix without success, blocking the unlock code of the phone and did not make me go on
Dear Ones,
I have a Techno Camon CX with an Unlocked Bootloader but No Root.
I have downloaded TWRP for Techno CX CX-H501D1-N-170405V107.zip but my device is CX-H501DEFG-N-190614V212.
I flashed the TWRP since it was and is all available for my device and it got bricked, but i had it recovered.
Now my question are, how hard is it to build a V212 compatible TWRP from V107?
What other options are there for me to get the TWRP for my device as per the build number?
Can someone here please buid one for me? Thanks

You need to find some guides for porting TWRP from one device to a similar device.
You probably won't find any guides that have all the answers you need as far as what needs to be "changed" or "ported" to work on your device because all devices are different. What you will find are guides that explain the "method", you will have to use trail and error and thorough research to figure the specifics of what you need to change, where you need to change it and why you need to change it.

I found some TWRP Magic installer. I'm yet to try it out though it only proves successful with older devicces, like Lollipop and below. I hope it works

If you have TWRP installed on the device, it should work.

I want to root this phone, mainly to turn off dm-verity because it keeps popping up even after a factory reset and this may be my only good option, but what custom rom should I use for this? I tried looking around and couldn't find any recommended ones. Blu Vivo XL4 android version 8.1.0 and the roms I looked at (Corvus OS, AOSPExtended) did not list my device for the downloads at all. Any suggestions or help for rooting this thing? First proper rootable phone I have gotten and I'm not sure the best process for this.

Vivo doesn't allow bootloader to be unlocked
That's nonsense, I can enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings, ain't that what's required?

You need a special steps for work. Not a exclusive file to your phone because GSI (actual custom rom for any device with Android 8.1 and next android version) need some files to fix booting that in your device. But the happy notice is about actual GSI files not need very files for fix or maybe nothing.
Try install AOSP from phhusson Android 9 and Android 10 repository to know. Other great GSI is crDroid by eremitein or other GSI files by him. Need testing.

I'm on.. what's it called, Oreo? Android 8. Not sure if that's going to cause any trouble for roms.

Yes! Android 8 from very OEMs/companies not have Treble/GSI compatibility.
Only Android 8.1 has that.
Update: Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.hack5.treblecheck&hl=en-US in the phone and know what architecture your phone/firmware has. That will show you which type of GSI file you can test.
Listing what that app says..
Required Image: Needs an image file named system-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Treble and VNDK: Supports legacy version of Treble, using VNDK version 27.0
System as Root: Does not support, use an a-only OS.
ARM-64 archetecture.
Seamless Upgrades not supported.
Does not use Dynamic Partitions.
Unless I missed anything, is this what was needed? Also I am on 8.1.0 for android version, I didn't know if that was just Oreo or if 8.1 had it's own name.

In the first update Android 7.1 [Nougat] to 8.0 and after upgrade to 8.1 [Oreo]. Normal.
All informations good to know what GSI you should test.
Now you can install with fastboot or Custom Recovery [TWRP]. So if has is better and fast.
If not so can using fastboot commands.
Obviusly need bootloader unlocked!
You can read and find more threads but this is good: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-blu-vivo-xl4-vivo-xi-vivo-xi.3877294/
The only part I should warn you about is the loss of IMEI. So soon as you can do backup from your phone the files NVRAM; NDATA; NVCFG with SPFT or other way like fastboot you won't have wasted time and hassles.

I'll give it a shot. In terms of performing a backup, I would assume that' typical "copy all files on phone to desktop folder just in case"
I should've mentioned, I don't have an SD card in my device, just a SIM card. I don't think I can use TWRP, which is going to complicate matters.
Hello I have a Blu Vivo XL4 android 8.1.0 Oreo, I'm trying to install a custom rom, I looked everywhere not a single rom is made for Blu phones.
bootloader unlocked
according to treble info:
System-arm64-aonly.img.xz
Your device supports the legacy version of project treble using VNDK version 27.0
Use an A-ONLY operating system
ARM64
Seamless upgrades are not supported
NO dynamic partitions
HELP
thanks
Hello, few weeks ago I bought a brand new Realme Pad LTE. This is really a very underestimated device considering it has on average more ram than competitors at better pricetags and a respectable octa-core processor with all the usual amenities a tablet should have along good lasting battery, no company bloatware and a solid construction in 2022. Unfortunately there is no support topic on XDA or elsewhere, and can't find a way to root it. There is no TWRP, no OTA or firmware available to download from the manufacturer nor a specific tool to dump the boot.img from the device, just unlock the bootloader and that's all. I am desperate, because otherwise I will have to return it and buy Samsung at an higher price - which I dumped for many reasons - just for the peace of mind of having support from LOS community, a working Magisk build and TWRP flashed for my backups and screw-ups. What can I do?
Because you're able to unlock tablet's bootloader you also should be able to dump tablet's boot.img by means of ADB applying Android's shell command named dd - what of course requires tablet's Android is got ( at least temporarily ) rooted.

That's why I am trying to get a boot.img. I need to root my device, and for that I need - to my understanding - to patch boot.img from this device on the Magisk app. I am a noob at all this terminal stuff, and struggled for days only to find an answer on how to unlock the bootloader on such a poorly documented/ignored device. I honestly don't understand what do you mean by "temporarily rooted" and I am also clueless on how *dd* command works or how/what path should I input over adb shell. Can you or everyone else help me out on this?
Android OS is rooted if it has su ( read: switch user ) functionality implemented.
By default this functionality is left of by OEM. Hence you've to add it by your own.
This can get achieved by means of ADB - if temporary root is your goal - or Magisk - if permament root is your goal - where the latter method patches Android's boot.img and other system files, so you no longer have a boot.img in it's initial state.
If to have a temporary root is intended, then all what is needed is to push a suitable su binary to Android's filesystem and make this binary executable.
With regards to su and dd commands: as always GIYF.

I have pretty much a stock Android 11 as OEM firmware so its my assumption it could be enabled, otherwise I have no idea of how to find out or where to find a suitable su binary for it. Anyway, my goal is to have a permanent root, so I can backup or remove system apps or eventually flash the **** out of this tablet if ever a dev pulls out a custom build for it. Also, to my understanding, flashing a Magisk zip from stock recovery or attempting adb sideload without a TWRP are a no-go, meaning I have Magisk only as apk package available to install.
From Google (the irony, I had to search for GIYF to find out what meant) I only found - for now - people that either describe a situation with a specific device that requires extra steps, or do a 180° and start rambling over TWRP stuff like it was taken for granted everyone has access to an official/unofficial build to extract that damn file. *sighs*

Hi, unfortunately I returned the tablet since there was no way up to this day to root it. You can indeed unlock the bootloader but fastboot prevents you from using sideload and since there is not a recovery for this specific tablet, and Realme support will flip you off if you ask for a firmware download, you're on your own.

Thanks for the answer. That's really stupid customer approach as for the brand trying to get into tablet market. In this case I'll probably buy samsung tab a8 or lenovo p11 instead.

Yeah, definitely. On one thing tho this tablet rocks; basic stuff like managing Netflix and using Android Auto for navigation from the tablet itself; the S6 Lite I now own can't even do that, in fact Netflix sucks and no support for AA has been even integrated despite having even the most community support. Who knows if there isn't even a longer list of unsupported daily use apps out there... By the way check P11 and A8 respective forums before making a decision; there is no certainty of support for root, recovery and all that good stuff despite being devices of recent production.
