There is no program. You have to download adb and fastboot tools
Once your phone is in fastboot mode and you have opened command prompt in adb fastboot folder in you pc type

Hi, if you send me the exact ROM of your device I can create a Root-AP file (boot.tar) for you which you flash through Odin (AP). Note that after flashing the Root file your phone will be factory reseted.

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)
Hey there, is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)? The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0. I haven't found anything on the forum. Here's a link to the Samsung website...
forum.xda-developers.com
I tried to patch the updated AP (boot loop)
I tried to flash the stock AP and then only the updated boot.img (boot loop)
I also tried flashing a patched recovery.img (HASH_MISMATCH error)
Maybe Magisk has some issues with that phone.
Did anyone have success in rooting the G525F?

How to Root via Magisk Patch:
1) Download and open the stock ROM
2) Extract the boot.img.lz4 and convert it to boot.img with a program like lz4_win64
3) Convert the boot.img to boot.tar with 7zip or winRAR
4) Copy boot.tar to your mobile phone and patch it with Magisk, so you will get magisk-patched.tar
5) Rename the patched magisk-patched.tar to boot.tar
6) Flash it with Odin in AP mode and you are rooted!
Only this method worked for me, if you try it differently it may not work! (Xcover4s)
Should work on all Samsung phones with Android 9 or higher.
I did this with the latest ATO firmware: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G525F/ATO
and ended up in a boot loop.
Maybe it's an issue with the latest Android 11 version - or the Xcover 5
I have the same issue . Stuck on boot screen after flashing. Works fine after I re-flash original boot or do a complete re-flash with original firmware. I can successfully root my s9 so am not a complete noob. My region is NEE
One more weird thing is that i cant seem to get it in recovery after the rooted boot flash. Any ideas for checking relevant logs?
There is a extra file in the boot.img called vmbeta compared to the s9 boot.img. Is it possible that this is the issue or am i completely wrong?

When my phone is in fastboot mode it cant find it.. WHen its on adb devices finds it but not when in fastboot mode.
A search for "root xcover 5" brings up plenty of ways to achieve this, but most of those sites are click bait, with identical instructions for any device you can think of. Other people are more helpful, like those who replied above, but I would like to know if anyone has ACTUALLY ROOTED A XCOVER 5 SUCCESSFULLY. And yes, if so, I'd like to know how it was done.

If you ever flashed a ROM and found that you've not been able to send and receive any kind of wireless activities, chances are your modem file is either corrupted or some problem with it.
It happened to me when i tried to install RR Nougat and found that my modem files are missing and any methods of restoring backup from TWRP ended up unsuccessful. Thank god! i got Fastboot ROM of MIUI 8 Nougat Beta and flashed the modem file which i found inside it.
Download the Modem file from this link.
Instructions:
1. Boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect your phone to PC.
2. Flash the Modem by entering the command
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
3. After flashing, reboot your device.
NOTE: Make sure the modem file is in the same folder as the fastboot binary. If you added the fastboot to your path directory, having modem and fastboot
binary in same folder is optional.
NOTE: Fastboot and ADB codes are case-sensitive, i.e. make sure you type exactly, including the capital letters.
Thankyou!
I have an RN4X(international)
Can I
1) download the latest greatest fastboot ROM from here
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
2) extract the NON-HLOS.bin (which is >80MB, whereas the bin you linked is just 36MB)
and
3) flash it (as explained by you)
Do i need to unlock bootloader first?

First you need to unlock your bootloader. Then..
1. Download your stock rom(Try to get the latest version) & empty vbmeta.img.
2. Install magisk. Patch boot.img(From your stock rom).
3. Now flash emptyvbmeta.img and patchedboot.img in fastboot mode.

What is a brick?If there is no usual way to recover your mobile, then it is called brick in my opinion. That means if you can't able to go to recovery and fastboot mode or the device is just blank with no sign of life.
When brick happens?It will happen because of locking bootloader with custom images or just because of Mediatek/Realme strange behaviour.
What we have to do if brick happens?Simply we have to flash stock firmware with Smart Phone Flash Tool(aka SPFlash Tool). With only SPFlash Tool we can't do anything, since we don't have permission for it. But with the advent of MTK-bypass, we can have full control over our device. If we don't have this MTK-bypass, then we have search for costly alternative's.
You can't flash only if your eMMC is damaged, which is the worst case because oppo phones are prone to eMMC failure.

Where to get firmware to flash?Download decrypted .ofp firmware from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SOmRxix9_UtjOLLanXPYxf4YK1NrA_RW/view
Thanks to @bx2_nero for it.
What is the procedure for using MTK-bypass and SPFlashTool?MTK-bypass is a Python script and it needs different USB ways for working. So with these two in place, we can get our work done.
Linux UsersFor Linux we have to use FireISO or patched kernels for working of MTK-bypass.
Use the Linux guide by @bx2_nero at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...our-realme-6-6i-india-6s-linux-method.4251077
Windows UsersFor Windows we have to use libusb32 filter for MTK-bypass working.
Use the guide by @daeSundae at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...india-6s-using-spflash-tool-for-free.4222027/

I need help, my C12 is stuck on fastboot mode. This happened after flashing a GSI using TWRP and flashing the image in the Super (System and Vendor) partition.
I tried rebooting to recovery mode by executing fastboot reboot recovery but it says that bootloader is not known.
I also tried to flash a GSI (taught it might fix the problem) using fastboot flash system system.img but it says that no partition named system exists.
Please suggest what I should do.
Bro, can you make a video about this? my realme c12 got hardbricked after I flashed ozip file from stock recovery while bootloader is unlocked. it got hardbricked when I reboot it after flashing ozip

Since your device is Qualcomm, I don't know. In any device, we have to flash stock rom (or atleast the partitions that are modified) to get device in working state.

anyone have a step by step to root Bison GT? Been out of the game for a while.
You can follow the steps in the link below but use the Bison GT boot.img file from the rom on umidigi's site. I can confirm this works.
https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=17376
*Remember, unlocking your bootloader will cause your phone to be erased.
Here is the short version:
In a nutshell, assuming you have your drivers setup for ADB and Fastboot...on this phone, everytime I go into bootloader mode, I have to goto device manager and set the driver manually to the google bootloader one.
Steps:
unlock bootloader
install magisk apk on phone(https://magiskmanager.com/)
Extract boot.img from stock rom that is installed on your device. https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=258
Copy boot.img over to your phone
Run magisk app on your phone, click install, click from file, locate boot.img on your phone and start. This will patch that boot.img
Copy patched boot.img that magisk created from your phone to your PC
Reboot phone into bootloader mode/fastboot (adb reboot-bootloader)
Flash patched boot image to boot partition: fastboot flash boot nameofpatchedboot.img
Reboot into phone and see if it worked.
This will get root working on Bison GT

Ah, You would use fastboot to flash it. Though, there are some steps in there I generalized. Like step 1, unlock bootloader requires a few steps and fastboot...
I'll have to go back and edit my post to get much more specific. I don't have time now, buy in a few days. Otherwise, if you find someone elses post about rooting and unlocking the older "Bison", those step should all be the same.
I think umidigi has this detailed out on their messageboard. Otherwise, just wait till I get back here to update this with all the details.
I had Magisk working with the release rom. The update today will bootloop if I install the magisk built boot.img. If I push the boot.img that came with the update then the phone will boot but no more magisk.

Did you rebuild the boot.img from within Magisk on the phone using the update boot.img...not the original release boot.img.
Hopefully I'm in the correct forum. I'm having issues rooting my OnePlus 8 with android 13. I had it rooted when it was still android 11 then tried out the colorOS and switched back. I followed the steps to flash the patched image and I keep getting the error failed remote: no such file or directory. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance
I figured out what I did wrong and it finished...but now it won't boot. I press start and it goes to the boot screen then bad to the bootloader.

Did you follow the instruction below:
1. Download zip rom and extract payload.bin
2. Use Fastboot Enhance export boot.img from payload.bin
3. Install Magisk Manager on your phone
4. Copy boot.img to your phone storage
5. Patch boot.img by Magisk Manager
6. Copy Patched file (in Download folder) to your PC and reboot phone to Bootloader Mode
7. Open Windows Power Shell at folder has Patched file and run command
fastboot flash boot patched_file_name.img
There is a guide to clarify and mitigate the error.

The boot file that you patched is corrupted or invalid.
-- Try to repatch again after you MSM back to stock.
you sure you are in fastboot mode and not fastbootd mode? While bootloader and fastbootd both are different, I believe you know the difference. Next time use command adb reboot bootloader and then flash patched_boot.img
