Hello ppl,
I have a few questions I would like answers to, I got the Poco X3 NFC recently and I was able to unlock the booloaded properly with the official method (waiting the 7 days), but when I think about the root process is njot entirely clear for me.
Is there a way to root the android device without installing the custom ROM?? os is that a must?
I heard some Bank applications will not run in rooted phones, how usual is this? and is there a way to know which apps come with this resticction?
seems like magiks is a good choice for rooting as it keeps the original boot.img in the device so the rooting checks are not failed. how better is this? than other methods?
I am also wondering if there a process for reviewing the custom ROMs available over the internet? I mean how safe are those in terms of malicious code?
And finally what are the best custom ROMS out there for the x3 NFC that you would recommend in case I go for the ROM flash route.
thanks in advanced for any details
You absolutely don't need a custom ROM to get root -- all you need is an unlocked bootloader, which apparently you already have, plus a custom recovery like TWRP or OrangeFox to be able to flash Magisk. Evrything else, IMMV...
Thx pnin ill check deeper in to magisk then
I have another question.. in order to backup my current stock phone's partitions do I have to flash TWRP first? or can I get the backup done some other way?
It's possible there's a way to do this with ADB ("platform tools") and a computer that I don't know about -- otherwise you absolutely have to flash TWRP/OrangeFox first...
I am on Indonesian stock rom. And removed these apps via debloat in magisk module. I think its quite enough. You dont need custom rom. Magisk can hide root. So no worries.

I'm a De-bloater user myself -- but I wouldn't risk anything without a working custom recovery. Things tend to get pretty hairy as it is...

yeah seems like RCS is very important... I have reinstalled it.
Hey thanks for all answers, so I manged to get mine rooted, the TWRP works but is not persistent, meaning you cant flash it, but can boot it, so I booted and installed magisk with it, I now have rooted x3 NFC, and passing the safety net scans all green.. the only thing is I debloat some apps like mi video and other mi-services.. but after some time they re-appeared... any advises on getting rid of them permanently?

I found it, adb pull and the partition name, I took a 100gb image though so Is not easy to tamper with as it is too big, none the less I managed to complete the whole rooting process properly so I guess I can try again to backit up as it is.. but I can boot in to TWRP so I guess is not enirely needed.

I've been stuck in a boot loop on one of my G-Tabs for about 4 days now. Been trying every fix I can find to no avail so far. I have the Viewsonic to G-Tablet boot loop. I keep noticing people reffering to using NVFlash with the Img9 fix to add in ClockWord mod. Many said to do that flash then to wipe the data, which is where the problem lies. I get this error everytime I try:

Repartition 2048 and 0.
Hello KJ and thanks for replying, I have seen you offer help to alot of people so thanks for dropping by here too.
I have tried that as well and it hasn't done anything. I don't know if it is the order in which I am doing things or what on this tab. My other one works like a dream but it was done before the 4539 (I think that's right) update came out.
I have done the NV Flash and added CWM via Ext SD and then partitioned and that was a no go. I also tried doing Roebeet's example of doing NVFlash and changing te Img9 file as well with a repart and that didn't work either.
I also tried this "fix" and even it didn't work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422
I'm not giving up because from all I am reading, these things seem immpossible to fully brick. I also feel pretty safe to say that it is my fault and that maybe I don't have the correct order for doing the entire process but I have tried until I turned blue in the face before giving up and going to bed.
Well... what your tablet is having trouble mounting is the partitions that you should be creating with the repartitioning. /dev/blk/mmcblk3 is the internal memory. Are you familiar with ADB?
No not at all. I googled during this and saw Android Debug Manager. Something with that I should try? I definitely don't claim to be the smartest guy on the block but at the same time I pick up this stuff well and am not really scared to try something if you have an idea.
Congrats, man. I think you're the first to truly brick his gtab.

Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough teacher (I lack the proper patience) to get someone going with ADB from scratch. Especially since my development environment is somewhat unusual so I often have no frame of reference to assist in setting up the tools. So, if you're up to it, you need to do one of two things. Either get ADB installed and running on your computer or get a rooted ROM and a terminal emulator on the device that we need to work on.
Your situation is somewhat different from the others in that you can actually get CWM installed and get into recovery. I still think that perhaps some combination of partitioning, data wipe and fix permissions should be working for you. What I would do in your case is:
1) Data wipe one more time (perhaps use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030915)
2) Reboot into CWM recovery and repartition
3) nvflash the stock ROM again (without CWM)
4) Factory reset from the ROM settings
If that fails then research setting up ADB for your computer and we'll discuss some diagnostics you can run from that.
Thanks KJ, I will try those when I get home this evening.
I rooted my phone, I think... I did get these errors:

Is that normal and safe?
What's next? What do I do from here? I really have no idea what to do or what I can do. Please share any information on the world of a rooted android device
Looks normal to me. It pushed busybox and superuser to system, which means you're rooted and can now run root apps. Just reboot and you're done.

It came with superuser, but what does it do? I did not find busybox. Where can I find it and how does it work? It auto rebooted. Where can I get rooted apps and what else can I do?

You can get rooted apps from the market or just download and flash them. Titanium Backup, Superuser, ROM Manager are examples.
ROM manager will also let you flash clockworkmod recovery, the basic tool for installing new roms/kernels/radios.
Your world is just beginning, really.

Firstly, there's a different sub-forum for each phone, so find yours' and hopefully they have a good FAQ. Once you've installed cwm, here is a tutorial for installing ROMs on Galaxy Nexus; it should mostly carry over. There's likely more tutorials around google/youtube for your own specific phone.
For titanium backup, always remember to backup user apps ONLY. Never, ever backup system apps or system data, because with custom roms you'll be changing the system. For a "full" (we call it "nandroid") backup use cwm.

Btw, where is the backup user apps ONLY? TB is really confusing.
Hi,
I bouth a used Z5 and I just found that it was unlocked and then restored the drm.
I read some posts saying that you lose functionality, and that it also affect to the camera. Other posts say that that depends on the way you unlock it, others say that you cant restore it, and others that you can depend on your the method.
My security service info stands like this:

}
What functions am I missing? Can I get them back?
Look, about the drm keys, if the one who unlocked the phone kept the drm keys then you can restore it. If that person didnt keep the drm keys, then you lost them for good. You cant use any other z5's drm keys or you will brick your phone. The good news is, you can restore all the functionalities back by flashing a zip file. You will have to root the phone first.

thanks. you said that it is possible to restore all the functionalities back by flashing a zip file. which zip file? there many different of them saying that can do it, an many people saying that some of them dont work and can brick the phone ....

may be he reffers this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/sony-credentials-restore-unlocking-t3296383
but you need to have root permissions and a custom recovery.... if you want to know how to install it here's a nice guide step by step
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/general/guide-sony-xperia-z5-unlock-root-tweaks-t3298224
I talked with the last owner, and he said that he already installed drmrestore.zip...
but the screen still stays like the screen I posted in the first message.
How can I check if I have lost functionallity? how cna I make sure that the camera and everything is fully working ok?

Hi.
I think so in your first post have the solution about your questions...
When you flash drmrestore .zip restore marlin and widevine and it appears ok. But fido Keys appears not provisioned.
Then it's possible that mirrorlink doesn't work, and camera work slowly.
When you restore your drm Keys you can read in fido Keys: provisioned and all functions works fine.

Hi,
I have problem How can I roll back to Android 11 from 12 ROM.
I have DFE and root .
Please help me because my work apps don't work on A12.
as far i know there is no android 12 stock rom yet. perharps you are in a custom rom... if that is so.. you just need to flash stock rom with miflash tool and the androdi 11 stock rom version of your device (global, eu, china, etc...) but be careful with the *clean all *save user-data *clean all and lock scripts.... right now some apps detects the bootloader unlocked and maybe that's why your apps doesn't work. you also can try magisk (and magisk hide) to get your apps work again but topjhonwu (creator of magisk) have already drop support of "magisk hide" so is only matter of time for root also stop working
I don't I have rtn PC so I need do it in all in TWRP on phone .
also.. you can check if the rom you want to rollback does not brick ypur device with the "anti-rollback" system that xiaomi create...
use the cmd command "fastboot getvar anti" on fastboot mode, you will get a number (0,1,2,3,4) and check your rom that has the same or higher number....
for example:
if your device shows "anti: 2" you can only flash (trought miflash tool) roms with anti_ver_ : 2,3,4)
on the scripts of your stock rom "clean all *save user-data *clean all and lock you can check the anti rollback version of the rom by using notepad++ and looking something like this

again.. if you are in a custom rom.. you can flash android 11, but the fact that your apps wont work because you rooted your device has nothing to do with which version of android you flash... but if your apps detects that the bootloader is unlocked... you can only relocked again using the stock rom with the *clean all and lock script...
google tutorial on youtube.. there are plenty of them and in different languages
You don't understand my apps works on rooted device but not Android 12 I had few ROM like Arrow Os or PE and root and kernel but no problem now I try thee ROM of Android 12 and doesn't work at all.

you dont have pc and dont have access to data
now that is a very tough situation
do you have SD card?
Your not encrypted right?
Just wipe super, data (NOT Internal, so media file is safe), cache.
Then flash the ROM + DFE.
You'll be okay and stay decrypted.
But if you're on encrypted internal, you need to format internal in TWRP (lose all data + media)
Also
Magisk isn't dead.
There's Magisk 24 with new root hide solution Zygisk.
.... and big problems with lost root and email certificates... i´m just trying to return to Magisk 23 because of massive problems with version 24 sharing this with some more users ...

You have a Pro not a Duel. You will need this first, extract it and place all the files within it to /ProgramData/RSA/Download/romfiles/L79031(delete whats currently in this folder first, then move all the files you downloaded into this folder). Now run RSA and and flash the correct firmware for your Legion Pro. Upon boot, make sure to run System Update to the latest firmware available (you will have to do this two or three times).

Pretty sure that link was removed. Here is where you'll find the firmware for your device. Just follow the instructions you quoted by @&(*) after gathering your models firmware.

Hey thank you, but I actually found a CN ZUI 13.5 ROM that I've never found before and flashed it, and it worked. I have Android 12 now, but my cellular still isn't working, and I want a ROM with Google apps by default- one more like the stock android. I assume that's the global version. Trying to go about unlocking my bootloader and flashing the Legion Duels ROM on my Legion pro, I've heard there is a way. Just need to find a good tutorial.
@xXHotBoxXx420 ,
Here is a guide that will work on this device, make sure you read it carefully and backup what it states. I suggest you read this other guide first so you can recover from any mistakes.

Helpful, but I'm wondering if I can do it the other way around; CN to Global rather than Global to CN. I'm sure it probably works the same way, backup partitions and all that. I just figured you had to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash other ROMs but I have flashed the ROW & EE ROMs and ended up with crashdump/bootloop. Didn't realize flashing partitions could fix that. I think I'll give it a try. Thanks
