Rooting for March Update?

Hello fellow A2 Lite owners!
I just got this device today and would LOVE to root 10.0.7.0, However it seems like the only way to go through this is by using a patched boot image which is not viable because none have showed up for 10.0.7.0 yet.
Will there be any other solutions for this? Thank you.

Obviously, It is my preferred way since I used it on a couple of devices including my Redmi Note 4 and Mi Pad.
My concern is not OTA but whether it would somehow break the ROM
Yes, I am aware of Mi Flash, Flashing stock ROMS, and other techniques but it's just that i don't have time for such long endeavors and would like to have a safe-ish way.
However I will try to get twrp running temporarily to install magisk.

No it will not break the ROM I'm running the March update with twrp n magisk the only thing that does not work is backup n restore there is a new twrp 3.3.3.0 but I haven't installed it yet.

How did you get TWRP to work? I am using the official image but whenever i boot into the .img, click cancel as instructed, and install the twrp zip, the result is that when i try to boot into recovery it says System has been destroyed (recovery only, normal boot is ok)

I have followed this guide but it would always result in the installed version of TWRP not installing correctly, and the system mentioning "The System has been destroyed, Press power button to shut down"
How can i resolve this?

I just uploaded the boot and patched_boot imgs for 10.0.7.0 (March update) here are the links:

Only boot twrp not to Flash it...
Boot twrp command » fastboot boot twrp.img
Flash twrp command » fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I assume you tried "flashing twrp" command, if that's the case it will replace your boot.img to twrp.img that's why it appears the "system has been destroyed" error... Try the "boot twrp command" if you want to access twrp temporarily... Coz right now we cant do(flash full twrp recovery) that as far as I know....

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.

Unlock bootloader using fastboot tools
Fastboot OEM unlock
Or
Fastboot flashing unlock
Falsh your device's empty Vbmeta.img
Fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
Reboot and install magisk latest version
Patch your device'S boot.img in magisk
Go-to bootloader and open fastboot mode, and flash patched magisk boot.img
Fastboot flash boot patched_magisk.img
Done, you rooted your device.

Hey if we flash the vbmeta.img will my phone boot

[SOLVED] Doogee S88 Plus reboot loop with magisk root

after patching boot.img with Magisk and flashing over the patched boot.img, the phone (Doogee S88 Plus) will just infinitely reboot after the message `Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted`
luckily, patching the original boot.img back fixes it (albeit flashing it back is kindof tricky, have to reboot multiple times while holding down the volume-down button before i can re-flash)
so it's not bricked, but i haven't been able to root it either, any suggestions?
fwiw, i'm using this firmware: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13bxhk-eEsJ81FmJWZaEEsOkZBMsYJE3x

update: finally managed to root it, the final piece of the puzzle was that S88 Plus wanted the magisk-patched boot.img signed with the publicly-available-private-key from https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-35862.html
screenshot:

the magisk-patched + signed boot.img if anyone is interested:

i did not use twrp at all, i only used magisk, and the boot.img is the file i uploaded above with the name "magisk_patched-23000_TY62U.img" , just rename it to "boot.img"

does your phone has a vbmeta.img?
It control if the image is signed, if you don't flash an empy vbmeta.img the system will bootloop.
It was a problem when rooting the Ulefone Armor 8-11

root is ok , flash tool, install boot and reboot

interesting, yes the phone has a vbmeta.img, and no i did not patch the vbmeta.img, and i did experience the reboot-loop, but signing the patched boot.img fixed the reboot loop without touching the vbmeta.img

This did it..dont flash vbmeta...the Boot ist the only Thing you Need...flashing vbmeta will end in bootloop...maybe a signed vbmeta...but why trying when Boot is enough...

after hours of trying I finally got it working.
Because I tried so much stuff I'm not exactly sure what was the key.
The signed boot.img flashed with sp flash tool alone did not work - i did not have the device unlocked with fastboot at that moment.
Then I tried a lot of different stuff.
I _think_ what was needed is these two things:
- signed boot.img from @hans henrik
- unlocking bootloader with fastboot (fastboot flashing unlock && fastboot flashing unlock_critical)

How did you unlocked it? And are you running gsi rom?
I have the s88 pro and i like to install custom rom

the doogee s88 plus should support galileo GPS standard Pu on mine it does not show any gaileo satelites. could anybody check?

Hi please help me i have doogee S88 plus and i use this guild https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-0-root-doogee-s88-plus/
now me phone keeps restarting, show "orange state", logo launches, I tried different combinations of buttons but nothing helped
what can i do or is there any way i can get it back to normal?
only now found this thread, currently the phone has a bootloop after these three commands
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

OK, i use sp flash tool but when i turn on me phone i see a bars on screen
i tried with all the stock roms i found, everywhere the same, the phone seems to work but instead of images there are stripes
this rom worked
OneDrive
onedrive.live.com

I finally managed to root my phone after days of endless boot loops (fixed by flashing stock using SP flash tool). Turns out I didn't need to flash an empty vbmeta or install TWRP at all. I was able to root it by following this guide https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-35862.html. For some reason your patched magisk image didn't work on my S88 Plus, so I made my own using the stock boot image from the official Doogee website (which appears to be the same one used in your patched version?) and Magisk 25.2 apk. For the Hovatek guide, I used python2 since python and python3 did not work. I currently have a red "Not Verify" watermark and an NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10 wifi network error, but should be able to resolve those with root access from guides I read earlier.
I would also like to install a GSI (lineageos preferably) but have had no success since nothing seems to officially support the S88 Plus even though it is project treble compatible, and I have ran into boot loops so far.
I have attached my working magisk_patched.img but would recommend building it from scratch using the linked guide to avoid any issues.

Fastboot bootloop

Hi guys ,
I have tried the A12 b2 for sometime and then decided to root for the 1st time by rollback to A9 (for twrp compatibility)
I downloaded a A9 fw and unlocked the bootloader
managed to root with twrp and magisk, I also installed ElementalX kernel
After playing for 1-2 weeks I decided to move back to stock A11
So downloaded the A11 latest stock fw but whatever I do to flash (via flash-all bat or all-in-one tool) it via fastboot result is the same... after flashing finishes it returns always to fastboot menu and never to load android normally.
what do i do wrong? please help

During the flash, did your phone go into fastbootd mode? If not, you might need updated fastboot drivers. I would also suggest doing a full format of the phone when jumping that many revisions: fastboot -w

the only thing that made the phone recover was to flash a factory android 9 fw (with flash-all fastboot command) and then update all the way to last a11 fw via the settings

Question How to unbrick One Plus Nord CE 2 Lite ?

I have bricked this device (One Plus Nord CE 2 Lite) by flashing the unofficial twrp image for this device. Device bootloops in TWRP.
Previously, I had succesfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted this device by flashing the patched magisk boot.img by following the method mentioned in this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rooting-oneplus-nord-2-ce-lite.4500297/)
How to restore the factory image and recover from this?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

...reboot to fastboot, flash the original boot and vbmeta and you're done ...maybe you have to change back the slot, but it's almost impossible to brick the device
...don't mess around with "Recovery" ...this device has already the newest partitioning system and there is no recovery partition
best regards

I messed up by flashing the wrong twrp image made. (Device was stuck on 1+ logo screen)
Thanks to your post i was able to rescue this device.
I used Oxygen Updater App, payload-dumper-gui and minimal adb fastboot.
Flashed boot and vbmeta with stock img files.
Restarting the device now will boot into fastboot mode.
Changing slots helped a lot.
(fastboot set-active=a/b)
After that, Device booted normally into OS.

... you're very welcome, Sir ...but really, don't mess around with "old school" recovery systems ...they are not needed anymore and furthermore they can't handle the "dynamic super partitioning" ...and again: nobody needs them after the year 2015 anymore
...best regards

Hey can you help me pls, I am in the exact same situation as you but I can't get the stock img files, whenever I use payload-dumper it just gives me system.img and nothing else, could you maybe share your img files ?
Edit: I manged to get some files but still not the boot.img, I don't undestand why it just refuses to give them to me, I redownloaded everything at least 3 times...

Use Payload-Dumper-GUI instead of Payload-Dumper-Go

Hey @NickR01 if possible can you send me an boot.img and vbmeta
I don’t have windows pc so can’t use Payload-Dumper
It will also help future users to unbrick device.

@vikas_anakin I have files for eu variant, can't help you there bud. If flashed it can mess up your device.
If you are stuck with payload.bin extraction... try it with an android device.
Here's the tool for Android.
Payload-Dumper-Android
Here's the guide for it.
XDA Guide
Newb Guide
Follow the guide and download this app to extract the .bin file
Termux App: Termux Github
After the extraction, type fastboot (pc required) commands to flash and change current active slots from A to B if it's stuck in bootloop after flashing.
I hope this helps you recover your device.

Extracting the payload.bin is not an issue, The issue is I don't have stock firmware.
I used https://www.getdroidtips.com/oneplus-nord-ce-2-lite-5g-firmware-flash-file/ but my wifi and Bluetooth are not working after installing it.
Do you have any suggestions on how can i resolve these issues?

@vikas_anakin Download authentic firmware from this app. Files are pulled from OnePlus servers.
Google Playstore: Oxygen Updater
Oxygen Updater Settings -> Enable Advanced Mode
Select device region.
Latest update for holi is CPH2381_11_A.13 as of now.

I extracted the images from the payload.bin found in the Oxygen Updater file (that I had actually successfully used to update my device) and flashed 2 partitions:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I then rebooted and now it's stuck in a boot loop & I can't even access fastboot anymore. Can someone please help?
Thanks
EDIT:
I managed to access fastboot & flash the rest of the partitions to fix it.

Or else you can extract img files from the oneplus rom file.
and flash them using fastboot.

Okay thank you for the reply, would you be able to point me to a official img file ? Or maybe someone has one extracted I could use please? I have looked online, but the ones I have gotten don't seem to work. I have also looked on the oneplus website for an official img but I could not find one.

So after a little more research, I can use another android device with the app Oxygen updater, download the full img.... So I am currently doing that and then ill try use fastboot or twrp to flash. Just wanted to spread info incase anyone else is having issues getting latest official roms for this device.

Hey man, I would suggest not going with msm tool or anything.
Just download the latest update file of your device using oneplus updater app, or you can ask for the file if some of your friends has the same device.
use this tool to extract payload files https://github.com/vm03/payload_dumper
Now you can follow the same procedure as here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ock-oxygenos-firmware-on-oneplus-10r.4465077/
