This is the steps you need to do first
#1-root, if your phone wont root then you probably need to get security off
#2-after root you can install cwm 3.0.2.1, there are newer version of cement but 3.0.2.1 is stable, but you can use 5.0.2.8
#3-now you back up your system through cwm, you can only backup using cwm or any other type of recovery
#4-now you can install custom roms and do modifications to your phone.
For root try gingerbreak or z4root

Hi,
New PH-1 owner here. Just got the phone new from Amazon. It was on 7.1.1. Immediately it upgraded to 9.0, and then to 10, build QQ1A-200105.32 with Feb. security updates. Impressive! After reading through some (a lot) of the material collected about the phone, I decided that at first I'd only root it (i.e. without installing TWRP) with Magisk. After getting familiar with the two rooting guide ("[GUIDE] Rooting your Essential PH-1" and "[Guide] How to Install TWRP & Root Essential PH-1(Method 2)") I actually followed this write up, and it :crying:FAILED.
I tried both ('PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip', and 'PH1-OTA-QQ1A.200105.032.zip') Essential provided images and with both Magisk (v. 20.3 and MMgr. v. 7.5.1) failed with "Unsupported/Unknown image format"
So, that's the status, and I'll welcome any and all advise on the above, but in the meantime, a question:
1 - If I flash this ('4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181.img') image will I loose Android 10,or the ability to have later upgrades?
Thanks!

First, TWRP doesn't work well with latest stock ROM (QQ1A.200105.032), if you'd like to use TWRP, you should use one level down (QQ1A.200105.007)
Second, there's no more upgrade for this ROM, Essential stopped support it, and Feb update was the last one.
Thanks for your reply. For now, all I would love is to get root and not loose the ability to get future updates from Google (I do understand Essential is toast, but with Android 10 Google will provide many updates, right?). So, not much interest in TWRP, just root.
Regarding 4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181.img: what Android version does it have, and when installed, can it be upgraded?
Thanks

Maybe I don't quite clear about your question, but why do you use that TWRP file?
I always use the official one from TWRP
https://twrp.me/essential/essentialph1.html
And regarding to Google update, as long as you don't use custom rom + microg then I believe you always get updated from Google Play store for your apps.

Ah, yes! My interest in 4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181 image is because, a) I failed to get root with Magisk, and b) this is a `fastboot` image that's already rooted (notice the mgk181 part of the name), BUT because it was made in January of 2019, I think (if it does, and I know too little to know that) it contains older version of Android, hence the question about whether I will be able to update from it.
Thanks

As I understand it Google will push some updates/security patches for Android via Play store but not everything, you still need updates from your manufacturer (which we now won't get) so you likely won't have all security patches, for this you need an up to date custom ROM like LineageOS (only at ver 9 pie currently) or maybe use the GSI (see Android 11 preview thread) but that is still in development at the moment so probably not suitable for daily use due to bugs & missing features.

I don't use TWRP, but I do have root, so if that's enough for you, see the steps below. Magisk version that you mentioned (v.20.3 and MMgr. v.7.5.1) works perfectly.
Since you are already on Feb update (the latest and the last one from Essential), you don't need the OTA zip. You only need the "PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip" - the full fastboot image. Make sure you download and install the ADB/Fastboot from Essential website on your PC - it comes bundled with the Windows driver linked on their Developer page. Also make sure you have a good USB cable (do NOT use the one that comes with the phone!), and avoid using USB3 ports on your PC (use USB2 instead).
1. Extract boot.img from PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip.
2. Install Magisk Manager, if not installed already.
3. Copy the extracted boot.img to the phone, then patch it with Magisk.
4. Copy the patched boot.img to PC.
5. Reboot the phone into bootloader.
6. Run the command "fastboot flash boot <your_patched_boot>.img" from your PC.
7. Reboot the phone.
8. Enjoy the root access.

True. Eventually, a proper custom recovery, like TWRP, might be essential (har, har) years down the road (although I only now am coming down from a Moto X (first gen, 2013) that between AFWall and XPrivacy I managed to keep on stock firmware all along), but now I need to get this phone prepped up for daily use, and that means getting root first of all (and from kt-Froggy's note I shall... I see now where I goofed).
I appreciate your input. Thanks!

Thanks! From the above, it looks like I messed up on the very first step; I was giving Magisk the whole PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip file and not the boot.img extracted from it. Oops!

That was my suspicion from how I read your post... ? Yeah, you need just the boot image extracted from the zip. The process is really simple, and it's been working for me with no issues, apart from one specific laptop where I was consistently getting errors for no apparent reason, so I just used other PCs.

sorry if you felt I'm shouting in the title. I want to root my Lenovo K33a42, Android 7.0 (yes an old phone). I tried to root using KingRoot, KingoRoot, FramaRoot, Root Master (including PC versions) and none of them were able to root my phone. I seriously want to root my phone and I don't wanna risk bricking it as it's my primary. I know the method of Flashing TWRP and then flashing Magisk or SuperSU, but I'm scared of bricking. is there any better method to root my phone?

Well always do everything with extra care. I cound not assure that you will not brick your device.
Your phone is Lenovo K6 power.
Also, I recommend updating to a newer android version as android 7 is already too outdated and not safe to use. An example is this, which you can also flash in TWRP (wipe before installing)

If you want to know why one click root apps doesn't work, those apps highly depends on a bug occuring on android 4.0 to android 6.0. Android 7 have this 'issue' , or exploit, patched, so one click root apps died instantly.
@DamnBro304
No Magisk, TWRP, SuperSu, etc.pp is needed to root a phone what has Android 5 and higher running.
Because your device's Android is version 7 to get the superuser access to be able to control various aspects of Android OS means you need to perform a certain modification that will root your phone's Android.
Here is what you have to do to root your device's Android: Replace Android's Toybox binary - what is a restricted version by default - by unrestricted Toybox v0.8.5. This can get achieved by means of ADB.
Toybox v0.8.5 is available here:

Hi all
I thought the Galaxy M12 was very popular because of its features, but I think I'm wrong as very few people open topics here.
Anyway , something that is very sought after , is getting the administrator permission , or in other words , rooting your galaxy m12 , so that the person really owns the device they bought , and so do whatever they want in your software....
There are a lot of articles on the web showing how to root the galaxy m12 , but almost all of them are fake
Below is a link , here from the xda forum , showing that rooting the galaxy m12 is possible .
[ROOT] Modified Magisk for Galaxy A21S (R)
It seems that the A21S hasn't had any root since it was released (other than pre-rooted GSI ROMS) When flashing Magisk, the phone went into bootloop, and the only way to fix it was to flash stock rom via Odin. After some analysis, it seems that...

Please read carefully every topic and replies , so there is no error in the procedure
Note that I'm not a programmer, I'm just trying to diversify, issues about the galaxy m12.

Attached is a screenshot on Magisk installed on my Galaxy M12
If you're new to Android like me (I'm new to android, but pretty old haha), find out about Magisk, right here on the xda forum and on the web. If you have problems with a certificate on Google Play , after root , here on the forum there are solutions for the solution
I for example to solve these problems I installed , I installed the second module SafetyNet-Fix-shim-MOD .

Is there a version of magisk for rooting M12 android 12?
P.S. I used this magisk to successfully root my M12 android 11.
Getting a Custom ROM for this device requires me to have Android 10. But it has Android 9 at the moment. Where could I find the update file so I can finally upgrade it and use a Custom ROM?
Hi. Solved. I found the update.zip file that I required to upgrade to Android 10.
Mods may delete this.
