Qualcomm EDL - Could this be the point of entry to Root and/or BL Unlock?

Found this series of blog posts that describe the Emergency Download Mode (EDL) on Qualcomm-based mobile devices.
This thread was made for us to discuss the possibilities around this mode and what benefits could we achieve for our phones.
I have not read them completely yet, but there is a mention of a Secure Boot bypass exploit against a Nokia 6.

xiomi EDL mode does allow to PUSH Twrp after altering the FASTBOOT ROM,
if Nokia is providing Fastboot roms then may be!
it doesn't unlock the bootloader! its just push Twrp so that you can flash modes to disable dm varity and magisk

Yes, it works but on Nokia5 and Nokia6 models only. Most of newer models does not switch to EDL mode. The question is still open: how to downgrade October SP to July to have ability of bootloader unlocking and rooting?

You have some choice to downgrade
Flash firmware via ost tool,ntool
Flash system via fastboot
If want root... Can use patch boot of trisi... Now nokia 8 more easier

I have no choice because I have updated to Oct. SP, my boot is locked and no possibility to roll back or atleast unlock bootloader. So EDL - is the only way to roll back to happy times with the root, freedom and customizing.

Before July update, YOU got unlock.key,
Then after septemer+ , before Pie-version, did you trie to get the second bootloader-unlock.key? because they changed bootloader? and also I am not sure if they givve away again from oreo and officail app a new unlock.key?
I don't dear to try out, fearing not getting anymore unlock-keys from hmd, need to secure more information.
I am trying to get a new key via official app but it is telling me that google play service isn't installed, although I downloaded open_gapps-arm64-8.0-pico-20190327 and was flashed via twrp and restored to original stock and still the official app is complaining about no play services when I am logged in to google-account inside the phone.
FYI: I donwngraded to oreo 8.0 and for experiment purpose I am trying to test if I will get a new key.

Thank you for replying. My problems are now gone, because I have recieved an official new bootloader unlock key. Now I have 2 keys for old and for new firmwares, so now I can flash anything I want with no fear . I downgraded to Android 7.1.1 and dont want to update any more. Now waiting for custom ROMs.

Does anyone out there have a Gome U7 and knows how to root it?

I bought this phone in aliexpress and i'm pretty satisfied so far. Except by the fact that it's a totally obscure phone. You can't even find cases for it.
Anyway, the real problem is the lack of root methods. I tried all the root apks out there without success, and there is no known way to unlock the boot loader.
So, as a last effort, i'm trying to find someone that maybe managed to root this phone and could share the knowlege with us. Or at least find some other Gome U7 owners to share this frustation.
Thank you!

From the Aliexpress listing I found, this is MTK6757CD Android 7.1 Nougat. It shouldn't be so difficult to root.
Have you been able to backup / dump the firmware?

Yes, thats the model!.
About the backup, i don't tried it yet, but i supose i can via ADB comands.
The problem is that none of the root apks work, and i can't try to install a root script via the default recovery.

Holy fuc...king cow! I did it!
The dificulty of finding the files for this phone made this task much dificult than it shoul be, but anyway, for the possible people that come accros this thread, that's how i did it:
download the mtk drivers here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jbxsq68g8dd4gk6/MTK_USB_All_v1.0.8.zip
download the stock rom here: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8hMx/N7fqf8X62
Put the stock rom's boot.img on your phone;
Install the magisk apk, click install, and then use the patch boot.img function;
Select the boot.img from the stock rom;
After the patch, replace the patched version with the original version on the rom folder on your PC;
Use the SP flash tool to flash it.
And that's it!
I can't believe it took me four days to figure this out hahaha
Anyway, i hope it helps someone. Have a great day.
Edit: unfortunately the bootloader is still locked, so i can't flash magisk modules. Is there a way to use root privelege to unlock it?

@SkynyrdZ The Link you provided for the stock ROM is for USB drivers.
Possible to link to a western Gome U7 stock rom with playstore on?
Thank you

Is that the only stock ROM out there?
I know it's a chinese phone but it originally had western stock ROM when arrived - As in playstore was available on it. Chinese version is very stubborn in trying to install western apps - Playstore for one does not open when you install via alt options.

I didn't really flash it, i just used the bootloader file on it for the root process. My device came with the stock android rom, with gapps pre-installed.
But as far as i know, you can have play store on any android. Just make sure you install google play services alongside.

I didn't try it because it seens fake to me. Also, the bootloader on this phone is locked, so fastboot comands didn't work when i tried. The only way i could flash anything was with SPtool.
But there's a group out there called twrp builder that compiles the twrp recovery to a lot of devices. I'm trying to put the gome u7 on their queue, but right now, they are busy with a lot of builds.

TWRP recovery for root with magisk from 4PDA Forum.
and firmware. Gome_2017M27A_MT6757_V01 (U7_GM_00_V1.0)
And I found root guide from GOME U Series Forum. (Chinese) It is same as this website.
(I am waiting my U7 delivery too.)

As you said the bootloader can not unlock why it need TWRP for?

The phone bootloader can lock and unlock as will.
Phone in fastboot mode: ADB command "fastboot oem unlock" then Push Vol+ on the phone to confirm unlock.
But I got the boot loop to TWRP every reboot after following steps to root the phone.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (twrp down load at https://unofficialtwrp.com/gome-u7-twrp-3-2-root/)
Boot to recovery ( this Twrp won't save the language which selected)
Format Data
Reboot to recovery again.
Install magisk
install No verity opt encrypt.zip.
wipe Caches/Davik...
reboot to system but it boot loop to recovery (twrp).
I have to reinstall original recovery.img and lock bootloader in order for my phone to boot normal again. After the phone boot up , install magisk.apk manager to get root.

Try to flash patched boot & twrp recovery image inside rar file with SP flash tool v5.1844.00.00 use their scatter file.

Wow, my device just could'nt comunicate with the adb via fastboot. I selcted the OEM unlock on the phone and inatalled the mtk drivers.
What i did wrong?
Also, you said that you had to install the stock recovery to the phone boot again, so you dont have twrp on the phone?

[infinix hot 10 x682c] How can I install twrp if I'm not rooted?

I was following this guide to get twrp, but it says I need root explorer. I can't get that since I'm not rooted. I tried magisk but both the patched boot and recovery images makes my device bootloop. It's an infinix hot 10 x682c. I need twrp to install magisk. So what do I do? And if I can't install twrp, what other rooting methods are there that I can use?

You don’t need to root your device to install TWRP, but you will need to unlock device's bootloader, which will erase all the content on your device.

I’ve already unlocked it, that’s not the point here. Since there aren’t any official builds for my device, I need to build one myself. The problem is there are certain info that I need but can only be obtained by rooting (which I can’t do). Hope this makes sense

Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, once your phone is in recovery mode use the volume buttons to scroll to 'Fastboot' or 'Download Mode', then press the power button to select it. Replace 'twrp-version' with the exact file name of the . img file you downloaded. Hit Enter to install TWRP to your phone.

Android 11 and OOS11 OnePlus 7 Pro

Hello,
I have scoured the forums ever since the update to try and get back to where I was, with TWRP, and a rooted phone. TWRP is not as important as root is.
I saw that there is a way to get root if following these instructions:
Rooting OP7 Pro OOS11
Where can i find instructions to root my phone having Android 11?
forum.xda-developers.com
However, are there any specifics or edge cases I need to be aware of? For example, if I am on the newest update versus the first beta update that rolled around a few months ago? At what point on Android 11 and OOS 11 do these instructions not work?
And I was wondering if someone can please provide some links to make it a bit easier for me (of the boot.img file and other things?), I actually leave the country in a week and so I really want to get this done before I leave, it would really make my life easier
Is there a way I can root without wiping my phone? And if I have to wipe, is there an app similar to Titanium Backup that's reliable that I would be able to use without root and restore some important data of apps?
Thank you!! Any help is appreciated

It's pretty simple. You just need to make sure you flash a patched boot image from the same build your device is on. The OP7 Pro forum is not very organized, and most of the available boot images are gdrive links buried in threads.
If you just so happen to be using the T-Mobile OP7 Pro, then I can help you. Otherwise you'll need to search around for a boot image for your device.
If you can get your hands on a stock boot image, you can copy it to your phone's SD card and use the Magisk Manager app to patch it. It will put the patched boot image in your phone's downloads folder. copy that to your PC and then use fastboot to flash it to your active boot partition

So after I download this boot image, I flash it using fastboot?
Because TWRP isn't available right?
Then after that, what do I do to root it?
Download the latest magisk?
Do I download the apk or flash that too using fastboot?
